August 1, 2021RE: Blessed Trinity Catholic High School Academic Response to the COVID-19 PandemicTo Whom It May Concern:2019 - 2020 School YearIn March of 2020, due to safety concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, Blessed Trinity CatholicHigh School shifted to an online forum for our classes until the end of the school year in May 2020. Duringthis time, attendance was mandatory for each class, and students continued to earn grades for class participation, tests, quizzes, assignments, and projects. Final exams were given at the end of the semester. Students were taught the required material, and were expected to show mastery of the material throughout thesemester. Additionally, Blessed Trinity has been conducting “Virtual Days” two school days a year for thepast eight years, therefore all of our teachers and students were trained on the platforms and methodologywe were utilizing.Our students were not given the option to end their semester at the time of going virtual. Their grades didnot “freeze” in March. The grades that are listed on their transcripts for the second semester of the 2019 2020 school year are reflective of continued work and effort on their part for the entire semester.2020 - 2021 School YearBlessed Trinity began the 2020 - 2021 school year by allowing students to choose whether to attend schoolin-person or virtually. Blessed Trinity did remain open for in-person learning for the entire school year, withthe exception of five total days, when the COVID-19 numbers predicated the need for the school to move tototal virtual learning. As with the previous school year, our grade structure and expectations of students didnot change as we strived to provide the same level of learning to all of our students. The only change implemented by our administration was the discontinuation of final exams; students were administered final assessments at the end of both semesters, but these were not weighted at 20% of their final grade, as wasdone previously at our school. Overall, Blessed Trinity was able to provide a robust educational experienceto our students that looked more similar to pre-COVID-19 education than many were expecting.We ask that you take these factors into consideration while reviewing the transcripts of Blessed Trinity students for admission to college and for scholarship opportunities.Please contact the Guidance Office with any questions or concerns you have pertaining to this matter.Kind regards,The Blessed Trinity Catholic High School Guidance Department
